Given,
Total packets distributed = 150
Percentage of shawls distributed = 74%
To Find,
How many blankets were distributed =?
Solution,
Total packets distributed = Number of Blankets + Number of shawls
Percentage of shawls distributed = 74%
Number of shawls distributed = 74% of total packets distributed
Number of shawls distributed = 74% of 150
Number of shawls distributed = 150 * (74 / 100)
Number of shawls distributed = 150 * (74 / 100)
Number of shawls distributed = 111
Number of blankets distributed = Total packets distributed - Number of shawls
Number of blankets distributed = 150 - 111
Number of blankets distributed = 39
Hence, total blankets were distributed by the Manav Seva Samiti.
